The woman shook her head and gathered her thoughts back into what was going on and looked at the firebrand. "Oh, and what brings you here anyway, boy?" the ash cat asked as she looked at him.

"Pretty funny coming from someone who looks younger then I do, but then again, Z told me not to judge based on appearance," the youth stated as he smiled and pointed at himself. "I'm here to look around at this village to try to understand how the non-humans here lived. Maybe that way I can find a place in life," the avenger stated as he rested his left hand on the hilt of his sword and swelled his chest proudly, smiling with vigor.

"That's pretty interesting, coming from a little human," the Neko stated as she looked at the firebrand, who looked back at her with annoyance.

"I'm not a human! Or not just, anyway! I'm one forth Ice Elemental!" he yelled, taking pride in his non-human part, and getting defensive in the memories of his weaker days as a mere ice innate.

The ash cat looked at the red haired boy and grinned. "An Ice Elemental, huh? I didn't know they were so weak looking."

"You'll regret that," Zachary replied as the air began to cool and an icy wind blew through the streets. "Like you release heat, I release a nice, refreshing breeze. You'd better rethink your strategy," he told her as he looked at the woman, his dark blue eyes meeting her gray eyes in a contest of resilience.

"Well then, care to see which is stronger: my fire or your ice?"

"Any day!" Leos roared as he leapt back and gathered up ice magic into his hands, throwing two ice daggers towards the Neko. He didn't need his sword yet, so he'd save it for another day. One where his foe actually looked like they stood a chance.
